without renovation going on the roads are regularly dug up which causes traffic jams all the time however the residents are aware that it's necessary for their future brilliant future. then has been a hold in just six years but the transformation complete in the black sea resort believes it can and will deliver the games to remember this time next year andrew fama. softy. well we continue our end up to look at the occupy wall street live went after a break right here on our team as they went to. secretary of state hillary clinton recently testified to congress in regards to the attack on
1:29 pm
the u.s. consulate was killed an american ambassador in benghazi libya during the testimony clinton rather calmly said things like that the revolutions that sprang up during the arab spring like in libya where the events in bali have created instability and safe havens for terrorists and she made it clear that there is no doubt that the algerian terrorists had weapons from libya so the us secretary has basically admitted that the actions of the usa and nato have caused a mass instability that has allowed the seeds of terrorism to grow when the justification for most of the actions in the muslim world is to stop evil dictators who harbor terrorists or spread shouting democracy if libya would have been left alone algerian terrorists wouldn't be getting any weapons from it now this is like an exterminator accidentally or maybe on purpose actually feeding the roaches in your basement so that there are ten times more of them and then saying that he has to keep working because he's the only one who can get rid of the roaches people like hillary clinton who support funding brutal jihad it's rebel groups to
1:30 pm
overthrow governments to somehow bring about stability and democracy are either dismally stupid or consciously running a very brutal con game but that's just my opinion. doesn't. work. my father is. the way you are and an assistant to the man i'm speaking with here vice president of seat anyway district one chris shelton one of the groups c.w.a. represents the rising workers and as of june two thousand and twelve the horizon workers he represents have been working without a contract for over a year except this round of contracts is different the rising is trying to break the union everything my father worked for his whole career could be gone within his life so many diverse people who are many walks of life that recognize that we are the not the site of the time of record profits of rise it is the very same people
1:31 pm
that have made it look at it the rich corporations that they now want to benefit acceptable from up want to feel the rise that it should be the poster child for corporate greed because of all the money they make and what they're trying to do to us and everybody else at the body say it's about saving a million dollars next year but what do you think that this kind of goshen is really about this kyra negotiation is about destroying our standard of living this is cooperation is trying to get what they want that they've been trying to get for the last twenty five years and we cannot let them and that's why occupy wall street smashes and i message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this country that we cannot let it says we have built very close ties with the communication workers before september seventeenth we were already supporting the fall markers and they responded by supporting us we went to their last rally at the headquarters they marched back to the park with us and some of them slept there they're going to be in
1:32 pm
a tough struggle that's why we're getting this relationship with labor labor seen as relieved they are i never expected when i first started contacting unions that the response would be so enthusiastic but the labor movement has been kicked around now for quite a while and they have to fight and i see people fighting and they see they're fighting the same enemy and they see them reaching out this movement has shown such an. mr reach out to the mainstream of the american public and the unions represent the organized part of that the focus on the one percent and the first time in an american movement i don't even think in the thirty's that the communist party took this in their mance work i don't even think they identify the enemy as the ruling class mr speaker. mr vice president. members of congress distinguished guests and fellow americans last month i went to andrews air force
1:33 pm
base and welcome home some of our last troops to serve in iraq. together we offered a final proud salute to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens bought. and several thousand gave their lives we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states safer and more respected around the world thank you thank you thank you thank you thank. you to want to get a standing ovation from all democrats and republicans just keep them alive at the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens that it itself and every congressional district in the country somebody really believes that the undisputed greatest player of violence in the world actually makes us safer and
1:34 pm
more respected i mean come on that kind of attitude is not going to earn anyone any nobel peace prizes or thank you distinguish members of the norwegian nobel committee it's citizens of america. and citizens of the world. i receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell would have had a hard time coming up with this are we really this delusional you see the more honest we are with ourselves about exactly what our foreign policy is the better chance we have to stop some of the truly horrific conditions it visits upon many of the people of the world so say it with me the us foreign policy is a blowback inducing homicidal bull in a cultural religious and geo political china shop chain. there is. damn far. too many family. sitting.
1:35 pm
around. the world. it was not right. i served in iraq in two thousand and four and two thousand and six i was in the second bad. enough allusion november of two thousand and four as a human being and as a person who has a heart i can't lie to myself anybody else and say that we had a reason to be there that there's a reason for the million iraqis that died in the five thousand troops said that we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go into you know people in their country but we don't stop genocide in africa we don't help people that we can help that would be the greatest country in the world if we can save a million people instead of killing them and people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money tax payers and united states had need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending
1:36 pm
in iraq and afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the annual energy costs for every household in america five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil there are enough. one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. over or it could convert every home in america through one hundred percent wind energy knowing times over for groceries for everyone in the country for free for two years or provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over the more turn all volunteer firefighters into full time employees and pay them a full salary for twenty three years or pay the full time salaries of every public school teacher for the next six years instead we took one point four trillion
1:37 pm
dollars pay a small black ops team to hunt track and kill osama bin laden. we even had money left over in the budget to decimate two countries launch are still it is resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans are going to bed clenched fists tonight in afghanistan or iraq who grow up willing to fly a plane into the building how many trillions are we prepared to spend on avenging that. you can do every. go to school and not just go to school but excel in school work really really hard and i graduated and really had the feeling a lot of the time very consciously in my head that. i might as well. you know i mean. was there reason for me to be in debt good evening of all the time bombs on the american economy set to explode with dire consequences this is
1:38 pm
a big one staggering debt from student loans everyone is told a college education is a way to get ahead college tuition as though keep going up so does the borrowing and we just hit an awful milestone our nation's combined student loan debt has now hit. one trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's now larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out how how. how how. i. thank. god i.
1:39 pm
was. getting your go anybody could have predicted that. because you would have. people out of the streets in new york city. because something is real journalism to be on here. the wheel has so many bright. young people. on a global stage with affordable education. and it is a challenging justice that there is in fact the whole student loan debt credit card
1:40 pm
debt when congress raises the loan limits schools respond to those increased long limits by raising tuition because they think that students can afford to pay more because they're actually allowed more money nobody really has the option to expect to get comfortable jobs. not go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce anymore we are for the workforce that we have right now it's socially irresponsible not to go to school because the entire workforce is predicated on higher education i think our education system hasn't caught up to our economy and that's one of the problems and that that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are speaking up that's why that why i'm here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans this is the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can't ever discharge this with a car seat the idea of you do you debtors union is based on a labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was so-called unskilled labor they negotiated with the
1:41 pm
factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way do you debtors union could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans is employing an autonomous strategy of refusal so you were fused to do something you're saying no to something in favor of making things better. how do. you. write code like this you know it's really about who we believe and back to the sooner we come to know the will just all these effects are so massive whether it's
1:42 pm
b.p. . oil. the tar sands i think the size of florida is from an alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing credit mess. oh of your. is tar sands oil is not at the coal in order to get tarzan go out go out to destroy the ark and so i think that you know finds out the pipeline but what happens after that you know i know there's a standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment's going to magically go itself because we stop a pipeline and then the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes it so urgent is that that nasa scientist james taylor said the brokaw warrior actually a few decades back or whatever says the piper i mean it will be game over game over means out in front on the inhabitable earth.

1:45 pm
a good dose of where they are sold see the criticism we're away so. and we want people to be able to believe it's going to take time but. we can't force it we're not ready. because we see a better world. we have a big. organization the second that any american dreams. were created.
1:46 pm
in style court intervention you. have to see this intervention at the end you know the show you all this stuff and then they sit around somebody who has issues and problems and they talk about you know how badly that person has done and what they're going to do if they don't change their behavior and for us we're dealing with folks who have a serious addiction to corporate money and think. that we can expect them to get off it on their own even on that in the smoking a crack. crack rock if they're easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this is not the occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend the real. in my mind i. said in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech constitutional rights are for
1:47 pm
people over eight hundred fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirmed slavery in two thousand the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i didn't see. was was was was funny person from time to time telling them how about. a single day culmination of individuals like you in the issues coming together with a secular purpose. to make me come to shul and manage to make it clear. that they do not have been here e-mailing about.
1:48 pm
money not political speak thank you today and how he's coming top doctrines must be about why we cannot overturn the functionality and still our wealthy individuals just didn't have enough money. thanks. i. think i'll. keep you all talk. these are the he would ha ha ha ha ha it was all my. monstrosity around the power monopolies have you noticed she will i like this stuff
1:49 pm
our society shay she gets me just like you with the excuses someone's gotta lose the support for race in the wind as it is not the ole miss you don't build on the backs of the morris brothers we're told forgotten the face we're all taught by our mothers should have been the people of the of the pale coolest full day here he is the most usually on a bull run to the small of his. rocks like so much better if we just remember the corporations. cause. he was the cause was because he. was. that people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently
1:50 pm
runs is not democratic it's not beneficial to the vast majority of people and kill we have some kind of economic democracy where in the past majority of people in their communities and in their workplaces have more decisions over what these corporations do if we want to have corporations and all then political democracy is a sham and then the you look at the military budget city of new jersey but you say spends as much as the whole world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade according the american society of civil engineers we get a decent these days is the future of our economy very infrastructure is going to work as a face of those two issues which are you just don't fear the one percent. in the military industrial complex suddenly we are solutions to the issues he's selling his money to invest in the new resisting the economy will certainly his money to
1:51 pm
reform it looms them out we see energy as you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like with our money in france right. right. right. that it was this mother target like the president. of the or the red streak. we are right. here. they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation that people are now debating issues such as western equality at
1:52 pm
this point i think we can all agree there is no debate there is inequity when it comes to wealth period full stop and it is growing and the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat are always going to hold they are super rich as a result of their active participation in or their willingness to be accessories to criminally rig the homicidal force of a system what the occupy movement has done and why people armed with nothing more than an idea are being suppressed often violently is to acknowledge that missoni issues are connected to antiwar activists or through health care reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will thank the reform advocates you name it are now all shining a light on the root cause of inequity. see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform a shareholder capitalism one that demands growth every quarter is directly
1:53 pm
contributing to the assault on collective bargaining issues the american dream itself the way it is understood by many as a mistress rags to riches anyone could be a millionaire greed is good grab the most toys before you die each rose should be you and i used for the greater good and the birth of a new american dream based on equity sustainability and the general welfare of the people should be brought into being and by people i mean people not corporations i was out here during the day before inauguration. it was a martin luther king day. two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class and race lines and all the sudden we felt oh. well so this new better you can't there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver hope and change we can believe so how will the occupy movement that has wisely stayed away from promoting
1:54 pm
political parties or individual politicians navigate the minefield of the potentially co-opting force that is the presidential election cycle now this year is just going to be nuts we've never seen this much money spent on a political process in the history of the world. and this comes at a time for a movement that is determinately to. this mad influx of money and politics so it's going to be a really scary contrast and the challenge of this movement is to create a counter narrative is to show that the justice of its cause is more interesting than anything these candidates can put on television i mentioned at the beginning that this movie is an invitation for you to join the occupy. but there are no membership dues no papers to sign all that is required is the willingness to see the world as it is and decide that you are going to be part of the solution occupy is less of an organization and more of an organism
1:55 pm
a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find a niche will be pushed into a corner of this organism is still a baby and the narrative it will be telling in the years to come is yours to write . what's your alternative it isn't easy to do when you pull money to the city you claim it can come into your kitty still. seems to be if you want to sit in judgment you just didn't. thankfully when you said it better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really be discussing the world have to be this way and how can we bring a better world and this is still
